They did exactly that later in the day and actually wound up doubling their pleasure by adding another defensive tackle as well. Per multiple reports, the Raiders have signed both Hankins and Clinton McDonald to their 53-man roster.

McDonald spent the last four years with the Buccaneers and had 29 tackles and five sacks in 14 games last season. He failed to make the Broncos this summer. Hankins had 44 tackles and two sacks during his lone season with the Colts in 2017. He was released in March and visited with several teams before landing with Oakland.

The Raiders have not announced any corresponding moves at this point. Matt Schneidman of the San Jose Mercury News reports that defensive end Shilique Calhounwill be waived in one move and the Raiders have a pair of defensive tackles — Justin Ellis and PJ Hall — dealing with injuries.

UPDATE 5:40 p.m. ET: The Raiders announced that they have indeed waived Calhoun.

This could only help I suppose. The lack of pass rush was pathetic on Monday. Goff stood flush in the pocket practically flat footed and had time to go through 3-4 different reads before throwing the ball.

Since they have decided that there is no sense on trying to be good until they get to Vegas, Gruden is just going to screw around like this all season long. Next year at this time half of this current team won’t be on the roster. Revolving door, gents.
